Uncover the mystery of the Ghoul's Grove, hidden in the Australian outback and filled with strange and mutilated scare actors. To Be Altered is a multiple-ending visual novel where your choices matter, even the most minuscule decisions will decide the fates of Darcy and others.

Uncover the mystery of the Ghoul's Grove, hidden in the Australian outback and filled with strange and mutilated scare actors. Darcy, an ex-detective, and his curious daughter, Jess, uncover the truth about the horrors of the carnival when they find one of the disfigured employees murdered. Play as Darcy in this multiple-choice visual novel to find out who did it, but should you have bailed when you had the chance?
Darcy has a secret too, but he can't hide it from his daughter for long. Something happened to Jess' mother before Darcy quit his job, and she can't shake off the feeling that there's more to it than what he leads on. Darcy has changed, Jess has changed as well. If they stick at this place any longer, they will both be changed for the worse.

Something's not quite right here, but as a retired detective, you wield all the skills necessary to crack down on the mystery. You will encounter tough decisions that will define your experience in this strange land. Every soul here depends on you for their survival, including your last remaining family member—your daughter.
There are many hidden truths that have yet to be noticed if only you'd just listen. How many people in the Ghouls grove are living faithful to their truth? Who knows who they are? Can the aspects of a human beings' soul be altered?
